Helping Our Children Confess

Here's an excerpt from a Doorposts article entitled, "Helping Our Children Confess." It was a timely reminder after last Sunday's lesson on Joshua and Achan.

“My son,” he calls him. What a gentle way to start.

“I appeal to you.” No anger. No scolding. Just an appeal.

“Give glory to God.” This is all about God and His glory.

“Confess to Him.” He’s the one you’ve sinned against.

“Tell me what you have done.” I’m ready to listen.

“Don’t hide it from me.” God already knows.

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted”

God Above, God Beside, God Within

Today we heard Chuck Colson talk about the important doctrine of the Trinity.  As you review the scriptures, consider the following question that is posed in the workbook: how is each member of the Trinity integral to the mission of the Church?

You might also want to refer to the Nicene Creed which we looked at today.  Consider each statement of the creed and locate the scriptural foundation.  This might be a good assignment for your family.  Divide the parts of the creed amongst your family and have them report back what they find. (Then you can post back here about how much fun your children had.)  You also can learn the Apostles Creed with Rich Mullins song.
